THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, NOV EMBER 26, 1926. DEFENDANTS FACE NON-POLITICAL JURY Fall and Doheny Panel Also Have No Prejudices on Question of Wealth. BY ROBERT T. SMALL: Althcugh “he Teapot Dome and Elk Hills ofl cases have been surcharged with politics from the beginning, the defendants in the present proceed- ings, Albert B. Fall and Bdward L. Doheny, are being tried by the most mon-political jury which could be found in any part of the United States. ‘Washington quarters of the age Washington; is the political head.

Mr. Doheny has been pictured to them as a poor boy, who by dint of hard work has amassed himself a hugé fortune. The clerks, steamfitters, etc., rather rel- tshed the idea of trying a multi- millionaire; at least they relished it until they suddenly discovered, after belng sworn that they were to be locked up from now until nearly Christmas. Those among the jurors who fatled to do their Christmas shopping early are certainly out of luck. The jurors hope to be out of the trenches by the merry Yuletide season, but with lawyers on either side of S0 many the case, it is difficult to see how that much speed can be made. The Government may consider its case simple e defense regards Iits position as more complex. It only took about 20 minutes to outline the Government's case to the jury. The defense took nine times that long. Wheretore, if the Government con- cludes in one week, nobody knows when the defense will be through. (Copyright. 1926.)

He added that Doheny had sald he wished not only to inform the committee of these facts but to put the matter before the whole public “No broader voluntary statement could have been made than that,” sald Roberts. “We contend that no public policy. that no existing law protects such a statement in either eriminal or efvil court.” As a result of this voluntary state- ment on the part of Doheny, Govern- ment counsel told the court, every human being in the country was in a position to know about the transac- tion between 1 and Doheny. Section 839 of the Revised Statutes, the chief bone of contention hetween the Government and the defense aver the admissability of Doheny’s testi- mony, reads as follows: Text of Section 859, o testimony given by a witness before efther House or before any committee of efther House of Con- I be used as evidence in iminal proceeding against him 1y court except on a prosecution perjury committed in giving such testim But an official paper or record produced by him is not within such privilege.” Roberts cited numerous Supreme Court and other records to back up his contention that the defendant, Do- heny, had waived his privilege of im- munity under the fiftk amendment of the Constitution, which protects a person from giving incriminating evi- dence against himself under compul- sion, Tracing the varlous stages of the law defining the rights of witnesses before congressiol committees, the Government counsel declared that the statute was directed to compel ai- tendance without violating the Con. stitution. “It never has been applied before to voluntary testimony,” he added. Roberts contended that this consti- tutional privilege was not intended to be thrust upon any man unless he de- sired it. “It has been held without excep- tion that when a_witness has volun- teered testimony he does not buy the privilege of immunity,” the attorne) told the court. Argument Summed Up. Mr. Roberts summed up his argu- ment with the declaration that con- stitutional protections against in- crimination are not considered as con- ferring immunity upon volunteers who would rush into committees or commissions and thereby prevent their testimony from being used in eriminal cases. He then read a letter dated December 27, 1923, from Fall to the Senate oil investigation committee in Wwhich the former Interlor Secretary declared that his private affairs had no place in the scope of the com- mittee's investigation and requested that, owing to his illness, the com- munication be inserted in the record. Mr. Roberts pointed to that letter a being a voluntary statement or sti- mony adduced without compulsion. The Government counsel concluded his argument at 10.30 o'clock and Mr. sgan his reply immediately. Doheny counsel read from mittee hearings that on December 3, 1923, Mr. Doheny took the stand and was sworn at the request of Senator The N printed reports of the oil com Walsh. The explanatory note in the | report of testimony said the witness \as duly sworn by the chalrman’ and after his appearance on the stand “was excused.” Mr. Hogan then turned to another volume of testimony and read that on January 23, 1924, Mr. Doheny had testified and that the committee ad- journed subject to the call of the ehalrman, Then on the following day-—January 24—the printed hear- ings showed the committee met at the call of the chairman, Hogan recited, and then he quoted Senator Walsh a saying: Emphasizes Word “Resumed.” “I asked the committee to meet, as 1 was informed Mr. Doheny would Mke to make a statement.” ~Mr. Hogan then read from the record the subhead in the report, “Testimony Re- sumed,” with emphasis on the second word. Then Mr. Hogan read that Senator Walsh had asked Mr. Doheny it he had been sworn when he ap- peared before, and on receiving an af- firmative reply the witness was told to proceed. "Tho record showed, according to Mr. Hogan, that Mr. Doheny testified un- der oath *“administered at a previous meeting.” Mr. Hogan declared that the testimony of January 24 was a resumption of testimony given when he was under a subpoena. For that reason he objected to the admissibility of that reported testimony of his client by reason of section 859, Re- vised Statutes, now section 634, United States Code. Mr. Hogan then launched into a detailed history of the law in support of kls objection. Mr. Hogan declared that while sec- tion §59 has been on the statute books | moval for some 69 years. there has not yet been a precedent bearing on it before a court. It has always been accepted for what it is, he said. Disputes U. S. Contention. Mr. Hogan disputed the contention of the Government that there is di- rect connection between the statutes and the fifth amendment to the Con- sitution, which protects a witness from giving incriminating evidence gainst himself under compulsion. it the defendant had wanted to stand on his rights, Hogan declared that section would not have amounted to more than a scrap of paper. “It has absolutely nothing to do with respect to the claim of immunity under the constitutional amendment,” he said. Section 859, he emphasized, relates to testimony and provides that any testimony given not by compulsion or extartion before any congressional committee cannot be used against the | witness in any criminal proceeding. | The defense counsel contended that i the testimony which the Government | desired to offer was directed against one defendant only, that defendant being Doheny. Taking up the question of conspir- acy, he said it had been proposed to offer testimony given after the con- spiracy was_supposed to have been 726 7th St. BARGAIN BASEMENT Lowest prices in town—for Perfect High Grade GALOSHES s 8199 b | vidual. DOHENY TESTIMONY ISSUE| entered Into, and that the alleged con- spiracy itself had occured between January 1, 1921 and December 11, 1922, the date of the last contract. Conspiracy Ts Analyzed. Hogan argued that when two e charged with conspirary s not possible to maintain that the cvidence of guilt or innecense of one defendant has no effect on the other's standing. If_the Mr ch 2 conspira e was as the Government alleges, Hogan point- ed out, it started with the negotia- tion in 1921 and terminated with the award of the contract in 1 s mony offered after that date, clared, was not admissable. The Gov- ernment, Mr. Hogan declared, has not proved that there was a conspir- acy, nor has it proved its charge that the loan had been made to Fall. He protested that in offering its evidence in the present trial, the Gov- ernment had jumped from the con- tract to the purchase of Fall's ranch in New Mexico and then desired to submit testimony that had been given before a Senate committee 13 months after the loan was supposed to have been made. Lambert Begins Argument. Upon the conelusion of Mr. Hogan's argument Mr. Lambert took the floor ore Justice Hoehling. He pleaded with the court “not to allow the jury to come to a conclusion that omething has been proven which hasn't been, namely, a conspiracy.” He detailed briefly what the Govern- ment had proved in relation to the stence of leases, contracts to build tuel tanks in Hawall and the ranch transaction of his client, and then de- red that as far as the record in the c: is concerned the Senate oil committee had no authority to take testimony or command any person to appear before it, because its powers had expired with the Congress which died that sessfon. “If that were so, does that help vou any?" asked Justice Hoehling. “If that were so,” replied Mr. Lam- bert, “anything that happened before that committee would be absolutely inadmissible as evidence.” <o far as concerns the letter Fall wrote to the committee, Lambert con- tinued, it affects nothing in the case excent the question of a private mat- ter between Fall and another indi- The letter, he added, deals <olely with the private business of Fall and not Doheny. “How can that be held to be admis- he asked, “when the alleged of conspiracy occurred between July, 1921, and December, 1922. ] testimony ought not to have any tanding because it cannot be wiped out in the jury’s mind.” Levi Cooke of defense counsel then addressed the bench for five minutes. He asked the court this question: “How can statements of Doheny be- fore the committee not affect Fall? How can the letter of Fall not affect Doheny, vet neither has been proved ever to have conspired with each other? The Government brings in these two statements hooked together which it hopes to establish as a con- spiracy.” Upon Mr. Cooke's conclusion, Jus- tice Hoehling recessed court to formu- late his decision. Court Takes Recess. When court convened after luncheon recess Mr. Roberts addressed the bench brief saying he could not add inything more to the Governmen stand with reference to Dohen; statement_before the committee Jan uary 24. He emphasized, however, that hen Mr. Doheny asked to make a statement “to the committee and the public,” he broadecast his remarks to the entire world and certainly any xisting statutes could not be <o con- to prevent only the court ng them. as he was about to sit down recalled references of defense ot he counsel to the order in which the Government’s case was being pre- sented, which Mr. Lambert dwelt on briefly this morning in telling what the Government had proved and giv- ing the prdofs in the order of their occurrence. He explained to the court that while it would not be diffi- cuit for a trained legal mind to un- dersthnd the entire case, if presented in order of occurrence, nevertheless the nature of it made it necessary for the Government to take the al- leged acts of conspiracy in a logical order, which the jury, representing an untrained legal mind, céuld grasp easier. Justice Hoehling then announced that the questions involved in the mo- tion are, “I need not say, most im- portant,” and he announced a recess until the return of the court, during which he will reach a decision on the matter. Just before he left the bench he was literally swamped with legal books, papers and documents, which counsel had used in their arguments. Denied Habeas Corpus. NEW YORK, November 26 (#).— The writ of habeas corpus through which Louis C. Mouquin, veteran urant man, hoped to escape re- to Omaha, Nebr., where an indictment names Louis A.

That afternoon Samuel Hill took us over that most beautiful of roads, the Columbia highway. I need not, I think, describe it to you. After all, I am not teaching Americans their own geog- raphy, nor do I mean to weary them with what they know better than L After all, it is my impressions that vou are asking for and it is to these that I must stick. Only this let me say, that a more beautifully bulit road exists nowhere, I think, and that the landscape it runs through is a continual enchantment—grand, beautiful and lovely—it is all three of these, Towering rocks, deep valleys, for- ests dark with mystery, splashing waterfalls dashing down the moun- tainside like silver light, then stretches of meadow land, where acres of apple trees give a note of home and pros- perity in charming contrast to those more solitary and grand places where pine and rock make man feel small. ‘We passed through several dear little places where the population came rushing out with flowers and great baskets of red-cheeked apples, which not even “Snow White” of the fairy story could have resisted, but these that were here given me were free from poison. Each Town Has Band. Each little town had its own band, and I was much touched that they all played our national hymn. This be- tokened forethought -and a manifest desire to honor and please the woman who had come from so far. The musicians were quaintly dressed; in one place they wore green waist- coats and green mountaineer hats; in another there was something red about them, and, if I remember clearly, they had brass helmets on their heads. Anyhow, they received us with joyful strains and marched before us for a while cheering our al- ready cheerful way. We arrived with the sunset at Portland, which seemed to me a per- tectly delightful town. The public had heen waiting for us a long time, but it had lost none of its enthusiasm, and the greeting it gave us was splen- AQidly sincere. Before penetrating into the city we stopped at a lovely home for crippled children; we visited all the little sufferers, and I felt like blessing all those who were perform- ing such a labor of love. The rooms were white and cheerful, the nurses had gentle faces, the windows were wide and looked out upon lovely sur- roundings and even the most griev- ously crippled child had some things besides suffering in its eves. Then on we flew down fascinating streets all lined with bungalows of which each had fits very own face. I loved those bungalows, and they are, I have discovered, a speclal feature of your American towns, anyhow in the West. I am told that California is the land of bungalo 1 am afraid, alas, to my utmost disappointment, that I shall not reach California this time. But these California bunga- Jows were perfectly delightful and I loved the way they were, one and all, set back from the road, on low grass banks, and what struck me particu- larly is how they stand side by side like perfect little buildings on show in an exhibition,, with no division be- tween them except neatly mown grass, ‘This we do mot see in European countries, where the houses are generally separated at least by a hedge. 1 hope that this means that cach man in America lives in perfect accord with his neighbors. — Un- fortunately, 1 have mnot been able to penetrate within these tiny dwell- ings to judge for myselt if this is the case. Prince Plans Uottage. My son, who has the nesting in- stinct, kept examining these little model dwellings, exclaiming at each that this or that was exactly what one day he meant to build, for princes, cou know, because they live in palaces, have the cottage dream. It was nearly dark by the time we reached the inner town. There the crowds thickened, the cheering be- came bolsterous, the lights were ablaze and, as in most big receptions, I felt it would have been convenient if T had had two heads with which to bow right and left at once. In Portland there were the usual receptions—governor, mayor, and committee, pleasant and charming people, eager to make us feel at home, eager to do the honors of their city. After the big dinner we were all taken to the horse show, and if there is a thing on earth that pleases me, it is a horse show, and let me add that in my life I have seen very few, and I always envied those represented in the English illustrated papers who SOL HERZOG My Impressions of America Written Exclusively for The Star and Other Members of the North American Newspaper Alliance Queen of Rumania had this joy at least once every year. So Portland, vou see, offered me | that evening a rare and appreciated | joy. With my keen, horse-loving eye | T took note of every class that was | shown. I only did not agree with the way the American class of riding horse, which in England we call “hack,” holds its tall. How on earth any horse, except a rocking horse, can be taught to holds its tail right up in the air like an uncurled ostrich plume stuck on the very crown of a hat—a way, let me add, that I for one would never wear my plumes—is more than I can under- stand. Except for that, they were noble creatures and stepped out like trotters, but I truly felt like telling them that I pitied them for their tails. T hope that by this criticism I am not offending anybody. Admires Giant Beasts. There was a magnificent team of six draught horses, beautifully dap- pled, with rounded haunches and mighty necks, their manes plaited, their bright harness all ajinkle with brass, which made my heart beat in remembrance of how passionately as a child I had adored this elephantine type of horse. The horse, though, that I would have liked to run away with was the hunter that could take high jumps. I do not think that I was in bed before 1 o'clock that night, which did not_mean that I was not up again at 7 in the morning, because I had been invited to view the, perhaps, largest lumber mill in the world. A new town with the name of Longview is growing up around this plant. Here like nowhere else did I have a dem- onstration of American forethought. The town does not yet really exist, but everything has been prepared for the town of tomorrow—the straigk test and most magnificent paved roads, large spaces for parks, elactricit drainage and water; the whole thing laid out with masterful knowledge of what today goes to make a perfectly planned _modern city. The schools, the Y. M. C. A., the church and a colossal hotel were already in place. Indeed, you are a forethinking people. which will lead you right future: you will become creators of a new worlw indeed, and we from slower, more tried Europe will come in masses to you to learn how you do it. \ But for all that, vou great builders. great strivers, great realizers, when you want to rest, vou will come to our sleepy, ancient little corners, which have a picturesqueness your admirably through-out improvements will never give you. Therefore shake hands. We on both sides have some- thing to offer, and let us love each other the more because of that give and take.

Preparations for planting trees along the recently widened stretch of Connecticut avenue between K and M streets were started today by Clifford Lanham, superintendent of trees and parkings of the District. Unless cold weather interferes Mr. Lanham has planned to start the actual planting of the trees within two weeks. Quercus rubra, better known as red oak, will be planted on Connecticut avenue.

Holes already have been dug along this thoroughfare, and when the trees are planted Connecticut avenue will have an unbroken row of pin oaks along the entire stretch from the Calvert Street Bridge to the circle. Mr. Lanham's Fall tree-planting program also includes the replacing of the trees on Eleventh street be- tween Pennsylvania avenue and New York avenue which were destroyed when this street was widened.

If cold weather interferes, how- ever, this project will be postponed until Spring. & Although Mr. Lanham has planned to replace the trees on E street be- tween Fifth and Thirteenth streets which also were destroyed when this thoroughfare was widened, he has rot set a definite time for beginning the work. The planting of trees on E street will be difficult, he saild, be- cause no space for the trees has been left in the sidewalk and these places will have to be chiseled out of the concrete. GEOLOGISTS STU]J; GAVE OUTLAWS ONCE USED Cavern Near Missouri River Was Storing Place for Loot Seized by Bandits. By the Associated Press. ROCHEPORT, Mo, Nov. 26 tendezvous for student outings and a subject of study for geological field trips from the University of Missouri, the Rockeport cave, near here, once was the den of river bandits and the haven for escaping horse thieves. The cavern, a deep recess in the rolling hills of central Missourt, i= not far from the Missouri River, which skirts Rocheport. The entrance, about 50 feet high and half that wide, is creened by heavy underbrush that in Summer almost completely conceals the opening. In the crinoline days, when Roche- port was one of the most important river points between St. Louis and | Kansas City, folk lore records the operations of a band of river pirates who regularly stripped the wharves of barrels of sorghum, boxes of provisions and other commodities. The loot was stored in the cave. A fight between the river robbers and a posse of en- raged boatmen at the mouth of the ave is said to have ended the career of that band and the lives of several of its members. Horse thieves in later years would hide in the cave when the vigilantes pressed them too closely. It has many chambers and winding tunnels.
